Martin Ender spoke with 7 News Detroit and said his sister had owned the home before she died. The family was selling the house and an agreement was made with buyers the day before.
The family is figuring out what is next.
“I can’t believe how bad it was. I just thought it was the awning, but it’s way beyond the awning,” Ender said.
Ender said he will fully assess the property in the morning for next steps.
